[13] De Vaucouleurs argued that Hubble's two-dimensional classification of spiral galaxies —based on the tightness of the spiral arms and the presence or absence of a bar—did not adequately ...
Messier 81 (also known as NGC 3031 or Bode's Galaxy) is a grand design spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.It has a D 25 isophotal diameter of 29.44 kiloparsecs (96,000 light-years).
NGC 6872, also known as the Condor Galaxy, [3] is a large barred spiral galaxy of type SB(s)b pec in the constellation Pavo.It is 212 million light-years (65 Mpc) from Earth. [3]
NGC 5907 has an anomalously low metallicity and few detectable giant stars, being apparently composed almost entirely of dwarf stars. [4] It is a member of the NGC 5866 Group.
The Xeración Galaxia (Galaxy Generation) were a group of Galician language writers centred on the Editorial Galaxia (founded 1950) [1] which was established to publish and translate modern texts that would develop Galician national literature. [2]

Cosmos Redshift 7 (also known as COSMOS Redshift 7, Galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7, Galaxy CR7 or CR7) is a high-redshift Lyman-alpha emitter galaxy.At a redshift z = 6.6, [1] the galaxy is observed as it was about 800 million years after the Big Bang, during the epoch of reionisation. [1]
